Udev problem

tatzi · 2007-01-23 11:29:51

hello , i need help !!!!

I have built a arch linux cd in vmware with 0.8 base and make a live cd with linux live scripts. I added xorg 7.1 and gnome. In vmware the live cd works great without any errors ( ok , one error , but this is a know error of the live scripts ).
But when I test it on my notebook , every time on boot process , it crashed in a glichy display when he load udev events. When i disable udev in rc.conf the live cd runs.
Any solution for this problem ? I think it can be a error with pcmcia.. my slax cd hangs on boot , if i didn't disable with nopcmcia.

Have you already tried gradgrinds great larch scripts for LiveCD generation? (See my sig) They work great...

Cheers Sigi

yes , but it hasn't squashfs with lzma , and they didn't can make a live cd from my current system.
And has its the same modular feature like slax ?

Anybody knows a solution ? I think that its not a fault by the scripts , because in Vmware and virtual box it runs without errors. Maybe pcmcia errors .. slax hangs my pc... any idea do disable pcmcia autoload of udev ? :cry:

( I use udev 103 , I forgotten it in my frist post )

You could try adding the modules you don't your LiveCD to use to MOD_BLACKLIST=() in rc.conf, e.g.

MOD_BLACKLIST=(pcspkr pcmcia pcmcia_core)

No warranty that this works, though..

I have found the prblem , but no solution ... if I have modules autoload on my arch hangs , when I disable it , it runs perfectly .. but some devices aren't loaded... I hope it helps the arch professionals to help me with this problem.

so... I found the problem. Its not pcmcia , its the nvidiafb module which kills my system. I have a question . Is nvidiafb needed to use nv driver in xorg ?

tatzi · 2007-01-25 22:55:21

So , MeoW is builded and works great .. nvidiafb outcomment and autoload modules works. The system is very fast and nv diver for xorg works .. very great .. thank you arch linux

Just out of curiosity: Why do you use kernel 2.6.18.3 and not a certain kind of 2.6.19 Arch kernel?

tatzi · 2007-01-26 11:59:15

its a own kernel with lzma squash. At the moment I test the new MeoW kernel 2.6.20-rc5. I don't know how stable it is. What do you think , 2.6.20 for MeoW 3.0 ?

I don't use the arch kernel because the lzma patches work only with the new 2.6.20 kernel :x

ps : this is the slax kernel 2.6.18.3

Arch Linux
